For 31 days, HP and BuzzCorps are sponsoring an enormous contest where 31 sites will give away a HP HDX Dragon Entertainment Notebook. Each notebook has a retail value of $4,500 and if you add all of the software, games, and movies it gets bumped up to $5,196 if purchased retail. If you multiply that by all the sites involved, this creates a staggering value of prizes for this giveaway. $161,076 to be exact! It is with great pleasure that we announce that Bleeping Computer has been selected as one of the sites to be hosting a contest for one of these notebooks. 
On May 26th, 2008 the Bleeping Computer contest will go live and registered members of the site can enter the contest to win one of these beauties. We will announce the winner on June 2nd, 2008. As of now, the detailson how the contest will work is still being decided, but we will update this topic with more news as we go along. If you are interested in participating in this contest, I suggest you subscribe to this topic. We have also created a page, linked below, with more detailed information as to the specifications of the notebook and the various goodies that come along with it. This page will be updated on the details of our contest in the near future. The list of sites involved in the 31 Days of the Dragon giveaway are listed below:

This is going to be a great contest, with 31 chances to win one of these notebooks. If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them and I will answer them as best as I can. I also want to send a big thanks to HP and BuzzCorps for including Bleeping Computer in the contest.
We also suggest you visit each site above and become familiar with how their contest will be run as each site will be running the contest differently. These are all great sites and worth visiting even without the contest and I encourage you to do so.
Good luck!
